The atmosphere intensified again as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Divine Sect refused to comply in the investigation.

The Ancestor of the Twilight Council narrowed his eyes as he glared at the Sect Master of the Heavenly Divine Sect. "Weaker than you?"

The Sect Master didn't even look at him. "Yes," he answered.

The Ancestor waited for further clarification, but nothing came, resulting in him becoming quite angry.

"So, you admit that you were the one?" the Ancestor asked with a threatening tone.

"Don't try to change the topic with baseless accusations," the Sect Master said calmly. "You know that your threat is empty and that you don't believe me."

Then, the Sect Master looked at the Ancestor again. "If you want to go to war with the Heavenly Divine Sect, you don't need to make grand allegations."

"Just attack."

The others looked with unease at the exchange.

Dealing with the Sect Master of the Heavenly Divine Sect was easy and difficult at the same time.

As long as one was honest and talked openly with the Sect Master, the Sect Master would give them direct answers.

However, if one tried to skirt the rules or honesty, they would find the Sect Master to be very uncooperative.

"Everyone else has already sworn by the Heavens, and you are the only remaining person that hasn't done so," the Sect Master of the Twilight Council said with a strict but calming voice. "It is logical for us to suspect you."

"Logical," the Sect Master of the Heavenly Divine Sect repeated with a scoff. "You're only saying that it's logical so that you can justify to yourself to put me into life-threatening danger by swearing upon Heaven."

"You don't believe that I've done it because you know exactly that I wouldn't use such underhanded tactics. Yet, you want me to swear upon the Heavens regardless, even though you're already certain that I didn't do it."

"Is this some kind of political powerplay?" he asked.

It had been quite a while since the two leaders of the Twilight Council felt that frustrated with someone.

Everyone had made a small sacrifice to show their support and unity. As one entity, they had already paid their proverbial taxes, but the Sect Master of the Heavenly Divine Sect refused to pay anything, saying that he hadn't supported this decision.

If a majority agreed, one should follow the rules of the majority. Otherwise, things wouldn't work out, and all sides would be unhappy.

The Ancestor wanted to say something, but the Sect Master of the Twilight Council stopped him with an urging glance.

The two of them looked at each other for a while as they exchanged voice transmissions.

The Ancestor had wanted to declare that morality was on his side and that the Sect Master of the Heavenly Divine Sect had to comply with their orders. If he didn't, they would declare war on his Sect.

However, the Sect Master of the Twilight Council had stopped him.

Why?

Because every single person that had ever threatened the Sect Master of the Heavenly Divine Sect had died.

A threat was a show of enmity, which automatically made the threatening person into an enemy in the Sect Master's eyes.

So, why should he hold himself back if the other person was already his enemy?

Enemies deserved to die, and he would simply kill them.

If the Ancestor of the Twilight Council decided to threaten the Sect Master of the Heavenly Divine Sect, the Sect Master would directly attack the two leaders of the Twilight Council with the intent to kill.
